Jennifer Lawrence tripped up the stairs as she went to collect her Best Actress award at the 2013 Oscars, but managed to make light of the situation, apparently spending the rest of the night in hysterics.

Daniel Day-Lewis may have become the most successful actor of all time landing his third Oscar, Ben Affleck might have grabbed his first as a director, but such is the internet’s love of schadenfreude that it is Jennifer Lawrence’s on-stage stumble that the world is reading about the morning after the world’s biggest award ceremony.

She tripped. She fell. She facepalmed. She got up. She soldiered on. Collecting her award for Best Actress, she also called out the audience’s phoney standing ovation, saying: ‘You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell over and that’s embarrassing. This is nuts.’

When later asked exactly how the fall happened, the Silver Linings Playbook actress shot back: ‘What do you mean what happened? Look at this dress’, referring to her rather voluminous Dior gown.

She didn’t let the incident dampen her spirits however, and if the pictures are anything to go by spent the rest of the night in hysterics with various combinations of Anne Hathaway, Jean Dujardin and Daniel Day-Lewis:
